Sports

Sports in Fayetteville are heavily focused on community and scholastic athletics. The local high schools (including Fayette County High School and Sandy Creek High School) have competitive and celebrated football, basketball, and track programs. While Fayetteville does not host professional sports teams of its own, its proximity to Atlanta means the community actively supports the Atlanta Braves (MLB), Atlanta Falcons (NFL), Atlanta Hawks (NBA), and Atlanta United FC (MLS).
